Mr.. w. F. Allen has given some in

er innovations, it is gradually extend
ing. 1t is already in use on the Canad-
ian Pacific Railroad. west of Winnipeg,
upon the Manitoba & Northwestern
Railroad, and upon the idaho Division
of the Union Pacific. So satisfactory
has its adoption proved to the railways
and the towns along their lines that
propositions to introduce it throughout
the Union Pacific aud Canadian Pacific
systems are being seriously agitated.
Particular attention is called to the fact
that the twenty-four-hour scheme is in
use throughout the extensive telegraph
systems between Great Britain, Egypt,
India, South Africa, China, Australia,
and New Zealand.

WALTER G. CHANDLER, PUBLISHER
Interstate Commerce.

Very few lawyers pretend to be able
TO construe the new Interstate COM
merce law, and very few railroad men
can predict what its effect will be on
traffic. The railroads are all accepting
the situation with such lamb-like hui
mility, and are so ready to declare
their intentions to carry out its pro-
visions to the letter, that the suspicion
arises that tho whole thing was origin
ated and engineered by them, or at
least that the railroad managers. among
whom are the smartest and shrewdest
men in the country, saw more plainly
than the legislators the effect of the law,
and knew they would not be the losers
by it.
Already, in anticipation of the en-
forcement of the law the freight rates
on grain from Minneapolis to Chicago
have been advanced from ~ to Is cents,
and thousand mile ticket aow costs a
commercial traveller $25, an advance OF
30. If in order to make up for passing
an editor over a road for which he ad-
vertises enough to pay his fare, the rail-
road must charge the necessary evil
called drummer an advance of So a
thousand miles, the people do not gain
gain much on the deal. Ii the rail-
roads could carry wheat from Min
neapolis to Chicago for u cents
in the winter. and must charge eighteen
cents in summer under this law, there is
not much gain there-except for the
railroads.
One theory is that the railroads are
straining the law in one direction to
make it cover an abuse, while they
stretch it as far in the other direction to
make it oppressive to the people in some
new way, in the hope that it will become
SO obnoxious that public opinion will
demand its repeal at the next session of
congress.
But even though construed fairly and
observed in the way its originators IN
tended. some of its provisions will not
work to the advantage of the people
The famous ''long and short haul
clause, for instance, will tend to break
up distributing points, as through rates
to centers of trade cannot now be made,
and this will not be to the advantage of
the small dealer The proof of the
pudding is in the eating, and the law
may, through the intervention of good
commission, lrove less curse than a
blessing, but it is cold day when a
railroad gets left.
